The key to the success of the New Roots program of the International Rescue Committee (IRC) in Charlottesville

has been the ability to blend social support to refugees with the region’s vibrant agricultural heritage to create community synergies and bring us all closer to the food we grow and eat. The New Roots Program in Charlottesville is part of a national effort of the IRC, and organization that was founded in 1933. The IRC in Charlottesville is the only local resettlement agency and provides essential services that support the successful integration of eligible immigrants.

New Roots strives to create a sense of community integration that revolves around our shared interest in the production and consumption of fresh food. To meet that goal, the program consists of multiple interconnected initiatives that work with New Americans in our community to support their health and wellness, community connection and household economics through food and agriculture.

The highlights of these efforts include the New Roots-operated community program that serves more than 60 families at 8 locations. . New Roots also educates people and provides material support, facilitating the acquisition of new skills to adapt peoples’ previous farming experience to take advantage of local micro-production opportunities.

New Roots staff operate the Michie Market neighborhood farm stand where graduates of the Micro Producer Program can sell their produce and earn supplemental income (all

income from the sales goes directly to the farmers). New Americans who participate in this program say that it instills them with a sense of pride because they are involved in providing something of value to the local community.

These farmers also have the opportunity to sell their produce to local restaurants, an innovative company called Small Axe Peppers and other outlets. New Roots provides support through other avenues as well, including advocating locally for a more just and healthful food system and funding matching incentives to New Americans which boosts their purchasing power when shopping for fresh food at participating locations.

This year New Roots is enhancing an existing community partnership of 4 years with Bellair Farm CSA. Bellair will continue to lend greenhouse space to the farmers at no cost and will now also provide land for the farmers to sow their crops. Bellair Farm CSA is very excited for the development because it presents opportunities to everyone to learn new farming techniques and practices. Bellair will also host cooking classes for the community where the farmers can share their regional cooking knowledge. The farmers will sell some of their produce as add-on shares to the CSA and Bellair will also purchase a portion of their harvests to complement and increase the variety of produce that Bellair provides to its members.

Bellair CSA members will be able to purchase this produce and support local New American farmers and the IRC during the CSA pickup at the farm on Saturdays.

Let There Be Fruits & VeggiesFood brings people together. But healthy

food is sometimes hard to come by.

Despite Loudoun County’s reputation

as a wealthy community, a surprising number

of children in the county—one in 10—live in

households with limited access to healthy food.

The consequences can be stark for these chil-

dren, as their development, ability to learn and

overall health is directly related to the quality of

their diet.The Piedmont Environmental Council’s

Community Farm at Roundabout Meadows was founded with two ideas in mind: to con-nect residents to Loudoun’s vital agricultural economy and to provide locally grown fruits and vegetables for its food-insecure families.

Now, it is time for those ideas to blossom, or rather...to be planted.

Starting this spring, the northwest corner of Roundabout Meadows will be the hub of activity. We have eight acres surrounded with deer fenc-ing, and on approximately two of those acres, PEC’s community farm manager, Dana Melby, will work with volunteers to begin planting broccoli,

cabbage, cauliflower, pota-toes, radishes, beets, turnips and collards, from mid-March to the beginning of April. Then, after the last frost, crops such as tomatoes, peppers, tomatillos, green beans, sum-mer squash, watermelon and cantaloupe will be added.

“We will also be implementing cover crops to help improve our soil quality and increase the soil’s nutrition,” Dana explains. “Cover crops improve soil health, as well as attract pollinators and beneficial insects. They also help reclaim land that was previously fallow, allowing it to go back into production.”

The fruit and vegetable crops at the Com-munity Farm were selected with the help of our partner, Loudoun Hunger Relief (LHR), who identified the needs of the local community.

Feeding America reports that approximately 13,390 Loudoun County residents live in food-insecure households, defined by a chronic lack of access to sufficient nutritious food, in 2018. LHR serves many individuals and families in

need, including over 1,000 families living without permanent shelter in the county. Nearly half of the people LHR helps are children who lack sufficient, nutritious food. To date, over one million meals have been distributed through the organization!

To address food insecurity and combat high rates of child obesity, diabetes and hyperten-sion, local anti-hunger efforts are increasingly focusing on providing more produce. PEC plans to donate 100 percent of the Community Farm's fruits and vegetables to LHR and other food pantries in the county.

"Loudoun Hunger Relief is thrilled to be partnering with the Community Farm at Round-about Meadows. Produce is so important to good health and farm fresh produce is even bet-ter. We’re excited to provide locally grown, fresh produce to our neighbors in need,” says Jennifer Montgomery, Executive Director of Loudoun Hunger Relief.

The Community Farm will engage volun-teers to help produce local food, which will have a meaningful impact on healthy food access in Loudoun. The long-term goal is to scale up production and volunteer programming over the next 5 years.

“I’m so excited for all that is to come this growing season,” says Dana. “With the tremen-dous help of our volunteers, we will be able to deliver fresh food to those who need it most.”

Are You Interested in Volunteering at PEC's Community Farm at

Roundabout Meadows?

Help us with planting and harvesting healthy food for Loudoun residents in need! Previous experience is welcomed but not required, as on-site training will be provided. Be prepared to work outside in variable weather conditions, get your hands dirty while doing a good deed, and learn about your local agri-culture community. All ages are welcome, but children must be accompanied by an adult at all times. Check the calendar on our website for upcoming volunteer opportunities and events. If you are interested in volunteering, contact PEC’s Community Farm manager, Dana Melby, at [email protected] or (540) 347-2334 ext. 7068, or visit pecva.org/farm.

NEWS FROM PEC

BuyLocalVirginia.orgBuyLocalVirginia.orgSupport Buy Fresh Buy Local. Consider making a donation!

Beef produced through grass-fed or regenerative grazing practices can be a systemic solution with benefits for human health, ani-mal welfare, the environment, and farm profitability. The Virginia

Piedmont is well suited for grazing operations and is home to many small and mid-scale beef farms. For decades, the Piedmont Environmental Council has worked closely with producers to support a transition to sustainable and cost-effective grazing practices.

Over the course of 2019, Health Care Without Harm and The Piedmont Environmental Council will be working together on a project to assess mar-ket access for sustainably produced Virginia Piedmont beef.

To get started, Health Care Without Harm will conduct an assessment of the institutional demand for the product. The assessment will focus on the collection of information from hospitals, colleges, and universities in Mary-land, Washington D.C., Virginia, and West Virginia.

Meanwhile, PEC will conduct a supply-side assessment to provide an in-depth look at current and potential beef-sector production and gauge

farmer capacity for expansion and interest in selling to a captive wholesale market. The study will span the area from around Charlottesville to Loudoun County.

When paired together, the projects will highlight possibilities for institu-tional purchasing programs and possibly provide a pathway to expand and support Piedmont beef sector businesses.

If you are a beef producer in the Piedmont region, please consider taking PEC’s survey: www.pecva.org/beef.

Since 2006, PEC’s Buy Fresh Buy Local chapters have provided free marketing opportunities for local farmers through

our annual guides and have connected mul-titudes of families to the fresh, local products grown and raised in the Piedmont. In 2018, PEC staff conducted interviews and focus groups with our Buy Fresh Buy Local partners and released local food producer and community surveys to identify barriers within the Piedmont’s local food system. These surveys help inform how PEC’s programming can tackle those barriers and cre-ate opportunities to strengthen local agriculture around the region.

More than a third of our partners responded that the guide provides significant promotion for their products. Many also cited one of the consistent challenges as advertising products and expanding their product buyer base. Issues with pricing, finding time to develop new market relationships and connect with community members hinder farmers’ ability to grow or fully establish their business.

Our surveys gleaned information on how consumers use the annual Buy Fresh Buy Local guide and their local food purchasing habits. Most consumers received their guide in the mail (57%) and are using it to find area farmers mar-kets and restaurants and retailers that use local products. When asked what would encourage them to purchase more local food, it came down to convenience and information.

PEC has taken this information to develop events and programming to fill in these market-

ing gaps. We have hosted local food showcases, buyer and seller mixers that allow local produc-ers to connect with a range of buyers—from small café owners to public school food service directors and national grocery chain produce buyers.

In the spring of 2019, PEC will launch the refreshed BuyLocalVirginia.org website that will provide a much needed online presence for our chapter partners.

To enhance this online hub for local food information, PEC is excited to announce our partnership with Virginia Tech and MarketMaker. MarketMaker is nationwide and centers around a virtual information-sharing platform that brings fresh and local food to consumers. PEC's well-known and growing Buy Fresh Buy Local chapters bring an already established network of local

food producers, while MarketMaker provides

online market connections that will strengthen

local food market purchasing.This collaboration

targets local food producers (i.e. farmers, value-

added producers, specialty beverage makers)

and local food buyers (i.e. chefs, grocery store

managers, institutional food service directors,

wholesalers, aggregators and distributors).

Through this partnership, PEC is supporting

development of a streamlined, centralized state-

wide local food inventory that provides food

producers and buyers access to Buy Fresh Buy

Local branding, Virginia Grown branding and

the MarketMaker online connection platform all

within the same database.

Slow Money Central Virginia is a Charlottesville-based non-profit whose mission is to support the financial needs of small-scale farms and food entrepreneurs in the local foodshed, including both urban and rural areas. Its primary means of doing so is through a 0% revolving loan fund for Virginia farmers and food entrepreneurs who need capital and are dedicated to using resilient, eco-friendly practices that produce healthy, nutritious food for our local communities.

The organization launched in 2018 and is part of the national Slow Money movement that began ten years ago. The movement is catalyzing the flow of “nurture capital” to projects all over the country with the aim to sustain a robust healthy food system. Slow Money fills that gap that often exists for farmers who don’t have access to traditional financial services like other businesses do. Long term, Slow Money Central Virginia expects to grow into a full-service financial support system for the Virginia foodshed, which includes ongoing educational programs, various forms of lending, and land acquisition strategies.

For more information about Slow Money Central Virginia, please visit www.SlowMoneyCVA.org. Or you can contact co-founder/executive director Michael Reilly at [email protected].

by Christina Saylor

Atelier Farm, located off Preddy Creek Road in northern Albemarle County is lovingly owned and operated by

farmer, Austin Mandryk. Austin named his farm after the French word atelier, meaning workshop or studio, and his farm feels just like that—an open air studio where Austin cre-ates and organizes his next work of art of the season. It is beautiful to behold the bounty and variety of flavors and colors of fruits, veg-etables, herbs and flowers he coaxes his land into producing.

Austin, calls his farm “beyond organic” and “pro-biotic.” Austin’s methods include using living mulch, no-till cover crops, beneficial bug borders, and weed and vermicompost teas, all in a loving and attentive effort to promote all life to flourish in balance on this 5-acre plot. A a result, Austin is bringing the overused, fal-low land back to health. He is providing fresh produce that his CSA members can eat with a good conscience, while also renewing the ground that nourishes us.

Atelier Farm sells both summer and winter CSA free choice shares, with each season lasting 6 months. The winter season focuses on fresh spinach, root crops, dried beans, popcorn, winter teas, and a variety of herbs like dried spices, hot pepper, garlic, ginger, and turmeric. The summer CSA adds fresh fruit like watermelons, blackberries, strawberries, and raspberries, a diversity of greens, all the usual suspects of summer—there are 100 varieties of tomatoes—fresh culinary herbs such as mint, basil, and cilantro, healing herbs like ashwagandha and burdock, and exotic specialties like husk cherries, shiso, and Thai winter melons.

A trip to pick up your share at Atelier Farm turns into a restorative journey in itself. Listening to Austin’s philosophy and vision for his future farm—which he is always planning for—and watching his passion for ‘creating’ encourages you to connect with the land and the food it provides. Summer CSA shares are still available. If you are interested in becom-ing part of this community, you can join at www.atelier.farm/pay/summer.

Summer Squash

Cherry Tomatoes

Basil

Garlic

Salt

Olive Oil

The whole point of the dish is to pop warm cherry tomatoes in your mouth—you can tell how sunny it has been that week by how sweet the tomatoes are. The flavor of the dish stands on the flavor of its basic ingredients, which is why I like it, as I really feel as though I'm savoring the farm.

PASTA: Spiralize summer squash into noodles using a spiralizer. Heat skillet to medium heat and add two teaspoons of olive oil. Toss in squash noodles and saute for several minutes until they become soft.

SAUCE: In another skillet, warm over low-medium heat: whole cherry tomatoes (cut some of the largest cherry tomatoes in half for a bit of saucey-ness), ripped basil and minced garlic. Stir to mix ingredients and warm through.

After warming, add olive oil and salt to taste and mix with the squash noodles. Enjoy!
